I can't comment on either of the two places that the owners kindly suggested to you. But Villa Boheme is a hotel right on Ensenada Honda as well that has rooms with a kitchen and also cheaper rooms where you have access to a shared kitchen. It has a nice deck out back and hammocks. It is convenient to town walking, there are two supermarkets within a five-minute, easy walk. Culebra is so small and has so many great fishing spots, I wouldn't worry so much about getting a hotel that is close to fishing (and I personally wouldn't eat fish caught too close to shore in the Ensenada Honda-- there is pollution in the shallower areas but once you get out to the deep areas in the middle it's ok). I would get something where you'll be close to town to be able to walk with your son to get ice cream at the Chinese restaurant, with easy access to the taxis that go out to Flamenco, and that will make it easy for you to get around and get groceries.
For fishing, Melones is walkable shoreline fishing though even easier with a scooter or a jeep, and is also good for snorkeling. Carlos Rosario is a 20 minute hike from flamenco but is also really good fishing and snorkeling. If you are going to be there for 3 weeks, I would also recommend talking to Culebrenese that you meet about having them take you to Dakity by boat or Punta Soldado by jeep (it's kind of a long walk but has a great beach and good fishing). There are boat rentals in Culebra and lots of people who will take you on fishing or diving tours. But if you are friendly and nice to people and ask around, you can almost always find someone from Culebra who has a boat and wouldn't mind taking you and your son out fishing on a Saturday for a lot cheaper than one of the dive shops, to a place you otherwise wouldn't be able to get to. The people who run Boheme I am sure could help you find someone.
